Leer hoe je je OnePlus 2 kunt repareren met dit video-overzicht.

Inleiding

What would you do for a OnePlus 2? We're a little shy, so we asked OnePlus if we could skip the dance party and flashmob contests, and they happily sent us a unit to rip apart. Kudos for their bravery.

Self-styled as the "2016 flagship killer," the OnePlus 2 steps into the Android phone market with circus-clown-sized shoes to fill. After the OnePlus 1's lackluster repairability score last year, we're hopeful that the new model brings some refinements and improvements for repair-minded folk like ourselves.

Follow along as we disassemble OnePlus' latest offering and see if they'll "never settle" for a 5/10 in repairability again.

Here are OnePlus 2 different ways to keep up with the latest teardown news: follow us on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter!

With the rear cover removed, we set to work on a vast legion of screws. It's miles better than glue, but there are just so many... Fortunately, our Pro Tech Screwdriver Set is on hand to face down this gaggle of Phillips fasteners.

The OnePlus 2 hits back as we find even more screws hidden away beneath rubber covers.

We also find a single screw wearing a tamper-evident seal—one that we're pretty sure OnePlus expected would be broken...

Smartphones today are without a doubt the go-to photography tool (camera!) of choice. That makes the shooters in these smart devices a cardinal comparator. Here's what OnePlus brings against the competition:

USB-C is a pretty new addition to the smartphone world, so naturally we took a peek inside.

USB-C's design is compact and reversible, much like Apple's Lightning connector—but cooler. It's a more open standard, and has more features. Let's hope these ports stick around, and can put up with charging cable abuse.

On the rear of the display we find the Synaptics S3320A touch controller that governs the touchscreen.

We also get a look at what turns out to be a soft home button which sits awkwardly below the very delicate side button cables. This is sure to make replacing the home button more of a hassle than it should be.

Keeping pace with Apple and Samsung, the OnePlus 2 features a fingerprint sensor. The FPC1150 touch fingerprint sensor by Fingerprint Cards AB can recognize up to five fingerprints and will read them in any orientation.
